Groceries I bought + what I made

Here is a list of super easy and quick meals I made with some of the groceries I bought as a senior in college.

First- Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo with Bruschetta Salad

Ingredients:

Chicken Breast

Fettuccine

Kroger Alfredo Sauce

Garlic

Broccoli

Cajun Seasoning, Salt, Pepper, Greeks seasoning (use what you want I just like more spice)

For the Bruschetta: Roma Tomatoes, Basil, Balsamic Vinegar, Olive Oil, salt and pepper, Parmesan on top.

I start off by starting to boil my noodles while I make my chicken. In a pan I place one or two chicken breast, depending on how many people I’m cooking for. Then I add a drizzle of olive oil and season the first side of the chicken. After the first side looks cooked, I flip the chicken and season it again. After the chicken and the noodles are done cooking, I make sure to chop the chicken up to the size I want it then mix the leftover oil and seasonings from the pan with the premade Alfredo sauce. The broccoli isn’t required for this recipe but is a really easy way to get your vegetables in.

For the Bruschetta salad I start by dicing up a tomato and putting that in a bowl. Then I cut my basil, a tip for this is to roll the basil then cut it. After adding both the basil and tomatoes, I add equal amount of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Finally season to your liking. I chose to use spring mix and shedded Parmesan for the salad but you can use whatever you would like.

Chicken and Veggie Bowl

Ingredients:

Chicken Breast

Minute Rice

Tomatoes

Red Onion

Peppers

Jalapeño

Cheese

Sour Cream

Spicy Mayo

This is a very easy and simple meal. I mainly use it when I have leftovers because you can basically put anything in it and it would still taste good. For the chicken, I make it the same way as listed in the previous recipe. Then I start to chop up any vegetables I want that day, this day I decided on tomatoes, onion, red peppers, jalapeños, and spring mix. The rice gets microwaved for one minute. Then I just add everything to a bowl and put a dollop of sour cream and some spicy mayo over the top and it’s done.

Finally the last recipe shown.

Spicy Sausage with Tomato Sauce.

Ingredients:

Spicy Italian Sausage

Roma Tomatoes

Red and Orange Peppers

Frozen Green Beans

I learned this recipe in a way from a cooking class I took while in college. You start by cutting up your sausage, I like to keep mine a little thicker because they shrink down a little. Then I add this to a pan on medium heat. After a few minutes, I add sliced peppers to the same pan. The oils from the sausage will help to cook the peppers. If needed you can add a drizzle of olive oil. Next, I add whatever seasonings I want to use that day, I am a big fan of Cajun and Greek seasoning so I use this a lot but you can use whatever. Then I do a rough chop of a few Roma tomatoes and add them to the pan. If you want to have more of a sauce you can grate a large tomato and add this as well. After cooking for a few minutes (or until peppers are soft and sausage is cooked fully) I add microwave green beans for added vegetables and serve it. #collegemeals
